Jaws is a software developed by Freedom Scientific to assist individuals who are blind or visually impaired by providing them with a narration of what is happening on their computer screen. This program automatically converts all on-screen content into sound or text for a braille terminal. When installing Jaws, users can select the desired language, with the option to choose from many languages beyond the default English. A computer restart is necessary to begin using the program effectively, after which a voice will dictate all user actions. This can be customized in the program settings. Jaws has proven effective with various programs such as Microsoft Office, Google Docs, and different web browsers, allowing users to access and interact with different types of content. The software requirements are moderate, making it compatible with most mid-range computers. A free version of Jaws is available for testing in forty-minute sessions, while full access requires the purchase of a license. Pricing options vary, including free access for ONCE members. Users can download Jaws from the official website to determine if it meets their accessibility needs.
